Growing up in Manchester I have lived what you would consider a pretty regular millenial life, with all the ups and downs that come with it. Just like many others, I’ve had moments of joy, challenge, growth, and uncertainty. But there was a time when I found myself truly stuck, asking a question that felt impossible to answer: Who am I, really?
Back then, I felt disconnected from myself and the world around me. It was a lonely, confusing place, a space that I know many people visit at some point in their lives, often silently. That period of disconnection and questioning didn’t just pass; it shaped me. It led me to reflect deeply on my experiences and gave me the drive to better understand the human condition, starting with my own.
One of the most pivotal moments in my life came with the loss of my mother at the age of twenty. The grief I experienced was overwhelming and unpredictable. But through it, I began a personal healing journey. I slowly started to understand the emotional complexity of loss and how profoundly it can affect our sense of self, purpose, and connection.
It was from this place of vulnerability and growth that my passion for therapy was born.
Now five years into my pratice , I’ve developed a deeper connection with myself and a stronger sense of purpose. My inner work has led me to discover a life of Joy, love and fulfilment in abundance. Something that my younger self questioned would ever be possible for me. At last aligned with my own authenticity and values I'm currently living nomadically, outside of the UK, and offering therapy sessions online. I spend my spare time basking in my favourite things; sunshine, travel, electronic music, wellness and being creative in whatever ways I can.
I feel grateful to be walking alongside others on their own healing journeys. My work is rooted in empathy, honesty, and a belief that change is always possible, even when it feels out of reach. I’ve come to understand that therapy isn’t about “fixing” people; it’s about creating a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself and move forward in ways that feel right for you.
I have a special interest in Inner child work and Attachment. Inner child work is a trauma-informed approach that helps people reconnect with the younger parts of themselves especially those parts that may have experienced trauma, neglect, or unmet emotional needs. It involves gently exploring past experiences that may still be affecting present-day thoughts, behaviours, and relationships. This work can be deeply healing, allowing us to meet those younger parts of ourselves with care, understanding, and compassion.Attachment refers to the emotional bonds we form with others starting from our earliest caregivers and continuing throughout life in our friendships, partnerships, and other relationships. Our early attachment experiences shape how we relate to others and how we feel about ourselves. When those bonds are insecure, disrupted, or absent, they can leave lasting impacts that show up in adult relationships as anxiety, avoidance, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others. Understanding and healing attachment wounds can lead to more fulfilling, secure relationships with others and with ourselves.
